Do all teachers post grade and attendance information to the PowerSchool ParentPortal server?

Yes. Grades will be posted by the teacher. Remember, the teacher’s gradebook is a “snapshot in time” and not necessarily an accurate reflection of the student’s overall progress or performance. Similarly, the student’s grade average may change depending on the weight or value of graded work.

How often can we expect grades to be updated?

Teachers need time to grade projects, assignments, and tests. Each day teachers are expected to have new material and lesson plans ready for class. With that in mind, teachers do need time to get the assignments graded. Please be patient because there are many factors that determine how soon a teacher can assess and return an assignment.

I know that teachers sometimes weight different categories of grades. How does this affect how a grade is calculated?

Each teacher has his or her own grading system. Some teachers calculate grades by total points while others weight the grades according to assignment categories (homework, quizzes, tests, etc.). Our teachers inform all of their students at the beginning of the course what their expectations and grading policy will be.
